Project Description

Overview

django-versions allows you to version the data stored in django models seamlessly. To get started all you need to do is to set VERSIONS_REPOSITORIES variable in your settings and configure the repositories you would like to use, then just subclass your Model from VersionsModel and start saving data:

Installation

Dependencies

Installing django-versions

If your are installing from source, you just need to run the following command from the base of the django-versions source tree:

python setup.py install

If you want to install the package without checking out the source you should run:

pip install django-versions
# OR if you don't have pip installed (you should definitely check out pip)
easy_install django-versions

For the time being, we need to patch Django to allow us to gain access to the related model from Manager classes. There is a patch included at the root of the source tree django.patch that includes the required changes. To patch django, go to the root of your checkout of django 1.1.X and run:

patch -p0 < /path/to/django-versions/django.patch

Add VERSIONS_REPOSITORIES to your settings file, pointing to the location where you would like django-versions to create and store your model history:
